1 John 3:17-18

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. ~ 1 John 3:17-18

This Scripture makes me think of someone. This lady:


Mother Teresa

Here's a short bio, taken off of motherteresa.org


"By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus." Small of stature, rocklike in faith, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was entrusted with the mission of proclaiming God's thirsting love for humanity, especially for the poorest of the poor. "God still loves the world and He sends you and me to be His love and His compassion to the poor." She was a soul filled with the light of Christ, on fire with love for Him and burning with one desire: "to quench His thirst for love and for souls.

Mother Teresa gave the gift of love to many people in Calcutta, India and the legacy she left behind continues to inspire people today

What inspiration can you take from Mother Teresa? From this Scripture?

Pray that God helps you to love with actions and in truth.
